Week 5 - Blog #4

Ah the vision statement! I have recently worked on creating vision, mission, and values statements for my last work department when we got a new boss and a new name. Our new boss had an MBA so he was well versed in this process and led us well. It was nice to see in the readings that he was following a plan and we engaged in many of the same gathering and brainstorming techniques. While working on my vision plan, I was a little confused as to whether to just go with the vision STATEMENT plan or work on the actual VISIONING plan that is discussed in chapter 4. I ended up mainly sticking with the statement and adding a revision of scope if necessary, since I already laid out most of the visioning part in my scope. I hope that is what you were after. I'm still enjoying the learning experience. When reading the book, I get to wishing my plan were more wide reaching and on a grander scale like those in the book, but I know I need to start small and work my way up!
